The runway was hopping as the Forrester Creations fashion show continued. The guests were in awe as the models did their thing in Ridge, Zende, and Eric's latest creations. Zende and Will watched the show on the monitors and were pleased with the crowd's reaction. The audience even loved the intoxicating fragrance of Daphne Rose.

Backstage, Eric consulted with Donna and Katie to make sure that Brooke was ready for the showstopper moment — and that it was still a secret from Ridge. "I want Ridge to remember who he is with Brooke. I want them to get back together," Eric said.

Zende then complimented Eric on the success of the show and the beauty of the designs. "This is some of your best work yet," Zende said. Eric was appreciative of Zende's words and actions. "I appreciate you staying with the company when the coup occurred, to be eyes and ears on the inside," Eric told him. Will and Electra were also impressed.

Brooke freaked out when she realized that she and Taylor were locked in her vault/dressing room, which meant Brooke could miss her showstopper entrance. Neither one of them even had their phone to call security. "This just proves my point. You have no business here at Forrester Creations," Brooke said.

"This is my career. This is my passion. It's a very important day for me. It's a very important day for Forrester Creations," Brooke lamented after Taylor apologized for accidentally locking them in. Taylor asked why Brooke was in a robe, but Brooke refused to tell her, which just made Taylor suspicious.

As Brooke kept pounding on the door, Taylor calmly told her that Ridge would notice she was missing and come looking. Brooke said it would be too late by then. Taylor apologized once again, so Brooke bit her tongue and reluctantly told Taylor that she wanted to get along with her and try to be friends, or at least adults.

Brooke couldn't wait to point out that "Ridge still calls me his Logan." Then, she noticed that it was almost time for the showstopper and freaked out once again. Taylor wanted Brooke to be honest about the pain she caused Ridge when she took the CEO position. "Every time he looks at you, he'll be reminded of how it made him feel," Taylor said.

Steffy was alarmed when she couldn't find Taylor, but Ridge just assumed she was in the audience enjoying the show. Will and Electra offered to help find Brooke for Eric and alerted Katie. She set off with Will and Electra to find her sister while Carter commented that the crowd was on fire and social media was hopping.

Carter and Ridge shared a bonding moment, glad that they had made peace and could have such a successful show, but Brooke was still nowhere to be found. Finally, Katie, Will, and Electra heard Brooke's voice coming from the vault. Thankfully, Charlie came along with a key and got Brooke out on time.

Brooke bolted for the runway while a confused Ridge wondered where the showstopper gown had gone. Ridge got out on stage to stall the audience as Eric, Donna, and Katie got Brooke ready for her big moment. Eric gave Brooke a little pep talk before she went out on stage, assuring her that she would blow Ridge away.

Ridge was indeed blown away as Brooke slowly made her way down the runway in a perfect wedding gown, reminding him of a moment in Portofino all those years ago. He smiled as she walked towards him, then she motioned for Ridge to join her on stage. Ridge waved to the cheering crowd, then put his arm around Brooke as they smiled at one another. Backstage, the Forresters and Logans were thrilled that the showstopper was a successful ending to a great show, although Eric and the Logan sisters were especially happy watching the CCTV and seeing Ridge smiling at Brooke. Meanwhile, from the side of the stage, Taylor and Steffy watched in shock.
